I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more and I would make the opening plan about shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I spent the rest of the day chasing somebody else's old fishing report.
The water-specific species list for Mud Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which is enough for me to plan around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and let current conditions settle the details.
For the opening trip to Mud Lake, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
